Mr. Sterling, Mrs. Sterling is Multifaceted!-Chapter 327: Truth or Dare

Seraphina gently coaxed, "How about I stay with you, always by your side, never leaving? If anyone bullies you, we’ll face them together, okay? Can you stop being like this..."

Her voice carried a tremor, one she hadn’t even noticed herself.

She had never seen him like this before. She began to rethink where she had started speaking wrong; perhaps from the moment she sat here, she had been wrong?

"If we lose, you die with me," Ethan Sterling looked at her.

"Okay." Seraphina answered straightforwardly, the warmth from her hand continuously transferring to the man before her.

Ethan saw the determination in her eyes. He understood she indeed wanted to leave, but she was also truly willing to die with him.

Ethan slightly lowered his head, positioning it perfectly so that her hand was touching every inch of his face.

Her hand was soft, softening even his heart with it.

He closed his eyes, avoiding her gaze, and resolutely said, "Let’s go, leave here."

"Ethan." Seraphina frowned deeply, "I want a sincere answer from you, from the bottom of your heart. I won’t force you, and you shouldn’t force yourself either."

She couldn’t fathom him like this.

Even with her intelligence, she couldn’t understand every emotion of his.

"I’m telling you to leave."

Ethan spoke in a low voice, his hand clenched into a tight fist, the flesh of his palm already blurred, with blood dripping down.

Yet he felt no pain at all, rubbing his face against her palm, saying, "It’s obviously a losing situation; I won’t take that risk. Moreover, if you go south, you can continue with your plan and rebuild Veridian Isle. I won’t lose everything I have now and can keep suppressing Ryan."

"Then look at me and say it, meet my gaze, Ethan."

Seraphina felt a bit unsettled inside.

But Ethan kept his eyes closed, showing no intention of opening them.

"Ethan." Seraphina pressed him, "I want you to look into my eyes and tell me your final answer. Once you say it, don’t regret it."

Will I regret it? I probably won’t.

He couldn’t let Seraphina stay by the side of someone as crazy as him. If he truly lost his mind, he might be the first to kill her.

Seraphina slowly opened her eyes, her gaze dark and unclear, staring at him, saying, "Seraphina, I want you to leave Sovereign."

Each word clearly reached Ethan’s ears.

Seraphina stared into his eyes, not missing any emotion, seeing that he really held no regret in his expression.

It seems, he indeed wants her to go, and the emotions earlier, could only be said to be reluctance.

Ethan had to accept holding his things tightly in his hands; if she went south, she wasn’t really out of his grasp.

Thinking this, a light appeared in Seraphina’s eyes, looking at Ethan, "Ethan, you must understand, that my leaving now is only temporary, not a permanent separation. It’s like... a long-distance relationship, even if we’re apart, we can still call and video chat."

"..."

"I’m really too weak right now. Not only can I not help you, but I might also cause trouble for you, unable to truly stand by your side."

Seraphina gazed at him earnestly, "Give me some time so that when I become strong, I’ll come back to you. By then, no one can drive me away, and neither can you."

"..."

Ethan sat on the chair, not moving, with no intention of speaking.

Hector Shaw was right; only by letting Seraphina pursue her beliefs could she transform into the true Seraphina, able to let go of everything, only love him, and only care for him, and that’s how she thought as well.

But none of them anticipated that he might not wait until that day.

"Ethan, answer me."

Seraphina called to him softly. He fell into silence again, making her unsure if she had said the wrong thing again.

She was very rattled today, more than when she first went to Veridian Isle.

Ethan pinched her chin and responded softly, "Don’t start liking another man."

Seraphina smiled, "That’s possible. I’m into looks, and in all of Z Country, no one is better looking than you, so rest assured."

Was this really what Ethan had been worried about?

She comforted him, and the red in Ethan’s eyes gradually faded, as he nodded, "Let’s eat."

"No, first we need to bandage your hand." Seraphina looked at his mutilated hand, raising it in front of him, "It must hurt."

His body was already covered with enough wounds, and yet he harmed his hand as well.

Really...

When they are in different places, Seraphina thought that video calls and such would be indispensable, to constantly remind him, otherwise, he might let his health deteriorate again.

After dinner, the two of them did not go to wash up or rest, but went to the place where the act of death was to be performed in a few days.

As night fell, the road was isolated, devoid of any human voices.

Ethan was the first to step out of the car, holding her hand, leading her to a slope on the side, reaching the top where the entire road was visible.

"In a few days, after I hand you over to Miles Harrington, you should immediately grab a gun and run, driving the car you seize onto that road, do you see it?"

Seraphina looked in the direction Ethan pointed, it was somewhat distant, she could only see a faint light on one side of the road, seemingly from workers on a site.

"You must crash the car into that gap without any mistake. At that time, the car will catch on fire first; the moment it catches fire, press the switch, the bottom will open, and you’ll fall into that construction area to escape."

At this moment, Seraphina hadn’t realized that her temporary goodbye in Ethan’s mind had turned into a farewell.

Ethan continued explaining, "The car will explode, everything will turn to ashes, the conglomerates will send their men to confirm, they will believe I have indeed died."

Seraphina continued his words, only by allowing the conglomerates to witness the scene will they truly believe that Seraphina no longer exists in this world.

"As for the ashes, I will make other arrangements."

Ethan sincerely said, "You just need to start practicing driving to ensure on that day you can accurately drive the car over the escape gap, and you must escape the moment it catches fire. Any delay could mean that this car crash might really take your life."

Seraphina was a bit taken aback, "So aren’t you worried I might really make a mistake?"

Does he trust her that much? Always a canary.

He looked deeply at her, "Do you want me to praise you? Indeed, your time learning to drive hasn’t been long, but your learning ability is very strong, almost the best I’ve ever seen. This calculation isn’t a problem for you."
